Dear Friends of Sustainable Westport,
This holiday season, we encourage you to consider small changes that will help you minimize your impact on the environment.
It is estimated that 305 million pounds of Thanksgiving food is THROWN OUT each year. Check out our tips on how to “rethink the feast” and minimize the food waste you produce at Thanksgiving and all your holiday gatherings.
Speaking of gatherings, if you are hosting this season, explore our sustainable hospitality guide for recommendations on how to make your party less wasteful and more eco-friendly.
With so much to celebrate and so much pressure to “make the magic,” it can be hard to commit to change. To encourage residents to reduce food waste and participate in the Westport Zero Food Waste Challenge, we are giving away a FREE Alabama Sawyer Countertop Compost Bin (retail value $195) to one lucky Instagram or Facebook follower! To be entered to win, be sure to follow us on Instagram and/or Facebook, like the post shown below, and tag a Westporter who you think should follow us by Tuesday, November 21.
Through food waste prevention and food scrap composting, you can preserve natural resources, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and save money! And with this gorgeous compost bin, you’ll become a food scrap composting pro in no time.
Happy Holidays!
Gately Ross & Johanna Martell
Co-Directors of Sustainable Westport
